Eugene : Goal 5 water resources conservation plan

Oregon’s statewide planning goals provide the framework for land use planning within
the state. Statewide Planning Goal 5 requires all Oregon cities and counties “to
conserve open space and protect natural and scenic resources.” The Goal itself, plus
Oregon Administrative Rules establish specific procedures and criteria for Goal 5
compliance. The City of Eugene was required by the Oregon Department of Land
Conservation and Development (DLCD), through the Metropolitan periodic review work
program, to address Goal 5 requirements for wetlands, riparian corridors, and wildlife
habitat sites. This Plan contains several components of the City’s Goal 5 process for
wetlands, riparian corridors and wildlife habitat. [From the Plan]

In 2005, the City of Eugene funded Phase I of the Walnut Station Study which provided the vision and planning for transit-oriented, pedestrian-friendly land uses on Franklin Boulevard and in the Walnut Station Mixed-Use Center.... In 2006 ODOT funded Phase II of the project to focus on implementation of the Emerging Vision, resolve remaining design issues, and provide an implementation strategy to make the plan a reality. The Phase II project has continued to build upon the Phase I vision to transform the district from an auto-oriented, suburban area to a vibrant, mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented neighborhood.

This document summarizes the work that led to the Emerging Vision
and explains the design intent behind the major elements in the Emerging Vision. This vision will provide the foundation
on which the Phase II process and, ultimately, the Walnut Station Mixed Use Development Plan will rest. [From the document]
